The state of this forum is probably the worst it has been since I can remember. I started visiting this site around 06 and finally joined in 2010. 2010 didn't scare me off and wasn't anywhere near the toxic troll fest this place is now. Back then we had the ability to neg rep someone which helped to somewhat maintain certain standard on this board.

I understand this site generates revenue and any clicks are good clicks so having mods ban people left and right isn't in Igo's best interest. I ask that you please bring back the ability to neg rep someone so the members of this forum that actually care about it can help regulate this place to help maintain a respectable level of content.

What is neg rep going to do? If there isn't some type of threshhold to get banned because a user was neg-repped enough...whats the point?

In fact, I would argue the opposite. he whole pie/beer/starbucks/poo/eggplant system is lame. It really means NOTHING and doesn't provide any value to anyone.

 It reminds me many years ago at some leadership training event I went to. The guy on stage was talking about positive reinforcement. He said something to the effect of if someone does a good job, to reply, " Great...one point for you". But the "point" is meaningless. There was no prize at the end for accumulating "points"....but it made simple minded people feel some sense of accomplishment.  In the end, it was as meaningless as pie, or neg rep. 

 

Same here. There is no prize to get pie. Members total pie as a ratio to their posts means nothing. They can post no more or no less than anyone else. Same with neg rep. So long as there is no reward for getting pie, or penalty for neg rep...its all meaningless except to the simple minded.

I agree i was sad to see the rep system go. It made it easy to tell who the obvious trolls were 

what it did was make it easy for stalkers like the 2 i have to ruin a members rep. Not that I post insightful stuff, but i don't troll. These dudes poo me over and over because even though i never called either out by name, i shared a different opinion and their ego just couldnt take it. Now, anything i post gets poo ( and if neg rep was here, that also) simple because of my name and not the content of the post. THAT is why neg rep was removed. It was then, and would be now...just another platform for people to try to silence those they disagree with.

Graphics would be cool like iPhone style-- 

Poo flying across the screen on a face,... fat boy eating pie,... Im not even suggesting what happens when someone gets the D--- maybe that Dallas pic everyone keeps floating around,... ha.

Probably take up too many resources and effect load times. Cool thought though.

Problem is the majority of posters do little but criticize and blame the team and personnel in every  thread. Anyone who posts anything positive gets jumped on like a pack of jackals. All neg rep would do is allow the critics to neg rep any dissenting opinions so this board becomes the most depressing place to visit.

More moderation, less tolerance and some/more time off for trolls and A-holes might work.

This place hasn't been moderated properly in years.  No offense to the mods, its just not expected or allowed anymore.  Don't know which.  Kinda sad really.  This was the greatest NFL fan forum on the net.  Now it just kinda, "is".

why should it not be? Did that poster raise a topic or opinion you dont like? That thread is on top for a reason: People react. I mean really, do you not understand how the internet works? If you dont like it...dont reply! Its on top because people reply! That makes that post a good post because they made a post that generates activity. 

Agree with the topic or not. That poster did nothing but raise a point or opinion. What is more troublesome is you as the OP of this thread seem to point to it as an example of why we need neg rep. Because....he said something i dont like....so ....teacher....ban him.   Really?  You should get neg rep for expression your opinion that it is wrong other posters DONT get neg rep for expressing their opinion. Can you see the irony???

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
